Business & Finance - 4 December 2006

There was a judgement ordering that I pay $4000. I couldn't afford to make the lump sum, and told the person I owe that, but they went ahead and went behind my back to my bank. They took the judgement in, and I got a letter in the mail today stating that they took out all the money I had in my account due to the court order. It does not say what that means though. They only took $900. Does that mean that any time I deposit money it will go to the person I owe money? Or will that person have to take other legal action since my bank did what it could? Please help.

I have bought a few over the years, never made any money. I tried Amway, Melalueca too and they were too hard to keep up. Do these types of things really make some wealthy?
I know some of the late night money making gurus have gotten into legal trouble but has any of it ever worked for anybody?

I have been living from paycheck to paycheck, and I don't feel I'm accomplishing a whole lot.
I get a paycheck, and try to budget my bills and my necessities, every two weeks, but after that's done, I'm still struggling before my next payroll, in making ends meet! How can I get by, with the two jobs that I have, and making over $2000 a month? I don't have to pay rent, and the bills I do have, don't exceed $875 a month! But I'm still broke before my next paycheck!!
How can I manage my money better? How do I budget and save without leaving myself short?
I am married, have two kids, and the car we have was given to us as a gift (so it's paid), and where I work, is only a half a mile away, and the other job is about 3 miles away, so it's not like I have to do extensive travelling!! What's with??

I have a business name: iBead Elegants (in Arizona) which specializes in handmade jewelry - I do not sell beads wholesale, etc. I also do not have a domain name of such. I sell 99% of my business through eBay.
I received a message from a company in Florida called iBead.com which has a federal trademark as iBead.com
This company iBead.com has a business in Florida with a sign on the outside of the building "Bead Warehouse" and under it is "iBead.com" ....

Although I have a City, State and Federal ID under my name, am I infringing on his trademark illegally?
Also I didn't know that internet domain names were trademarked.
